T3 Fun announces the Hellgate Tokyo expansion for Hellgate Global will go live in one week on September 22. They describe all this will bring to the free-to-play online action/RPG, including a new storyline, new Cow Room and Base Defense modes, and the reopening of Hell mode.

Oh no, you had to take 30 seconds more in order to get in the same instance... And as far as the instance thing goes, you can join anyone, forever. Unless they're in a zone you don't have access to... In this case, your friends can give you access to the zones by going to the end of them and having you warp to them. I've logged hundreds of hours in coop, it works great...

I mean, unless you're overly bitchy/lazy, these are minor inconveniences for a free game, let alone, one that is that fun.

Within an hour of trying the game with friends, I ran into two major flaws that should never have made it to the first release, let alone the second one. First, there's a bug where when your team pops through a portal, not everyone is visible to everyone else. You have to pop in and out until everyone syncs up. Second, in testing the game, I'd run a quest in single player mode. When I joined my group and they picked up the quest, I wasn't able to join them. I couldn't even enter the instance to help.

I like playing action RPGs with friends, but that game was just horrible.

But have they fixed the bugs yet? Added servers to reduce lag during heavy usage times? Added DX10 support back?

Those are the important questions. I'd rather they fix the issues first then release the Tokyo expansion stuff.

Also, there is a weird mouse issue that some have (including myself), where the game doesn't want to let you look on the Z-axis (or diagonally, will only allow X or Y one at a time..), but only while looking and moving around. Mouse works perfectly fine in menus (press I or O or J, mouse works fine), and also when you hold the ALT key to select buttons and icons on the UI.
